California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order Wednesday requiring all passenger cars sold in the state to be zero-emission vehicles by 2035.
Mr. Newsom said in a statement that the widespread adoption of zero-emission vehicles would reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help to combat climate change. The transportation sector is responsible for more than half of carbon pollution in California, the Democrat said.
By 2030, few will remember gas vehicles anyway. Just grandstanding
Can we work on improving California's 'electrical grid' in the meantime perhaps?
Elect stupid and expect smart? California voters hello?
Great way to start somewhere...However only hope individuals can afford the new requirements. At this rate, our economy isn't stable or secured!!
i can’t wait too see all the new cars that are going to come out 😲
In other news, Californians are leaving the State at ever increasing rates.
The next governor will change that
So...by the time everyone who currently runs car companies/is in office, is dead...
Wonder if Elon will slate California for this decision.
How can that be ? How do you get electricity? By burning fossil fuels.
Our dip-shit Governor impoverishing California one law at a time
Good for them
By 2050, California will be back to horse & buggy since the power grid will collapse and nobody can own a car.
Pretty sure this will have less than 0.1F effect on global temperature. But it will cost a whole lot.
Don’t like it? Everyone move out! There will be less traffic on the road...
RIP California. No economic base. No middle class. No money.
kh93291 Now, do China... or anywhere else..
That will work great with California's super amazing failsafe foolproof energy grid.
yeah, and still cancel people ... !!!
Same state that blew $5 billion on the bullet train
Someone will get elected and change the law as always
And you’re going to do what to help us afford these more expensive cars?
chick_fury
Won't be anyone left in California to drive anyway. I really wish Cali would just secede and become its own country.
Yes yes yes, some good news for today.
Some people on here hate the Fires and blame it on liberals. Yet they dont think this is a good idea. They call is communism. The mind of idiots is astonishing.
So, to review; He signed an order that won't take effect until after he's out of office?
Have a feeling a lot more people are about to bounce from that state. So many already have. Now even more of a reason to leave. California is going to loose a lot of tax payers in the coming years. State is falling downhill rapidly.
Actually, CO2IsInnocent. Calif would do much better in reducing air temperatures by increasing rainfall. Work on that, Gov. Newsome. CAgovernor
Hey Newsom... what are you going to do with all the gas powered cars... put in a landfill?! That will help for sure... What a total Dem loon!
Goodbye CA! Newsom is an out of control Dem loon! Period.
Wish ev's were more promoted in Illinois since they are cheaper all the way around than ice cars
What a crock of crap 💩
After polluting the rest of the planet with your massive fires,,,tool🤚
Wow it's exactly like my country You know we are doing like you but In a different way We stopped producing a car recently that had been stopped producing around 20,25 years ago by Hyundai See we do the same but In whole different way And our governments feel really good 'bout it
Newsom very soon you must step down don’t bulshit
How is that ambitious? By 2035 climate change has evolved to the point of no return if proper measures are not taken long before.
This is why the Electoral College exists. This is a clear abuse of power by one highly populated state to dictate what the rest of the states must do.
Is he aware electric cars use a lot of power and that California already has blackouts?
Well I Nevada Arizona and Oregon are going to be selling cars like crazy!
Trying to stop the every year's wild fire is much useful for climate than this.
So the state that can't keep their electric grid running when it hits 85 degrees is going to demand you drive an electric vehicle...
15 years to fix that power grid or you will have cars that go nowhere
Bad time to own a gas station in California I guess.
Leadership GavinNewsom
Find his connection to the auto industry and we’ll understand this obvious regulatory capture.
All legal posturing aside, there should be incredible progress in electric & renewable vehicular tech in 15 years
Like all Executive Orders, this one is only good until there is another executive in office. That will happen more than once before 2035. Do not expect this particularly wild, unachievable fever dream to stand once Nancy Nephew Newsome is out of office. A bonfide flake.
The air quality is so poor there. Maybe think about getting a real train service for LA before that.
Good luck with that! Gavin Newsom is a nut job!
Daniel LaRusso is NOT pleased. How can a prominent auto dealer like him make it now?
Sure thing
So many issues with this. Technology will need to make some big leaps to achieve this. Better get ready to use a shit ton of nuclear power plants
It won’t matter. By that time everyone will have left.
Lol.. handle your forest management and then get back to us about carbon emissions.
If the powergrid can´t hold regular demand right now, I imagine how it will perform with 2 or 3 million EVs running around.
Brain dead Gov. Try managing the forests for real results.
No one worries about how to recycle or destroy those batteries without polluting the environment ?
So, ... let them eat cake?
Where does the power come from to charge the batteries of the electric cars? Are all those sources green and reliable or will they walk to work and have no heat or ac? Bet the gov’s limo is gas.
NO more car dealerships in CA.
Plugging all those cars in for a charge will melt down their already faltering electric grid. Might want to fix that first if they can find the money.
A fantastic idea. Hard to enforce. Especially hard if we don’t have like-minded leaders at the federal level creating laws to fight climate change. Brownie point for effort GavinNewsom
Bye-bye California.
How the f*ck can a governor just sign an executive order impacting a huge industry with such a radical demand?
💙
Car makers should setup HUGE dealerships on the California border just inside Nevada
...and where is the electricity to charge these cars coming from?
HIV AIDS is healed. Watch.
California will zero car dealerships in 2035
The cripples are now walking. Watch.

DumpADemocrat today!!
Power grid unreliable so what could go wrong w/forcing more uses of the unreliable power.
I’d rather see him set up a new arson task force as I continue to see more and more arson fires set in California. that would be more practical help for our state. But common sense -practical those are not things to be found in California.
NASA, yes NASA, climate cooling. Science, not proven to be wrong computer models, that have not produced even 1 correct prediction.

Funny. One more reason NOT to live there!
This really helps the less fortunate. Bravo to you sir!

One more Trump election and maybe we can replace these idiot democrat governors, especially the elite children! Zero emission cars wild do nothing! How about forest management. Has there been a study on how much carbon was created by the forest fires.
If this simply applies to new gas cars, then the market will adapt by selling the previous year's models. This is ridiculious, and shows how out of touch particular politicians are. Expect many lawsuits over this considering the ramifications that it will have if implimented.
Batteries=Lots of big holes in the earth to get those rare earth minerals out!! That's going to be a lot of damage!!
And if China and India don’t at least match the US emission rates it won’t change a thing.
Welcome to the broadcast
Direct violation of interstate commerce protections.
Most of Hollywood just went up for sale.
Shifting emissions from tailpipe to power plant while destroying the environment through increased manufacturing and disposal. SCAM
